Average NPS score for Retail
A practical NPS benchmark range for Retail is 20-45. This is not a fixed industry average; it is a directional range for interpreting whether your score looks weak, healthy, or unusually strong.
Retail NPS depends on product availability, staff helpfulness, pricing, store or website usability, returns, and whether online and offline experiences feel connected.
A retail score in the 20-45 range can be a practical benchmark. Scores above that often come from strong merchandising, reliable service, and easy problem resolution.
